Do you like the system? What are your fave games on it?
I loved pokemon sun and monster hunter stories
BTW, anyone happen to know any fps games for the system?

Etrian Odyssey
- TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) 10•9 months ago
I really enjoyed Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS, but I never hear anyone talk about it. It’s not an fps, though.

This was by far my favorite 3DS game. It was just perfect.
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English1•9 months ago
And one of the best looking ones too!
- SmoochyPit ( @SmoochyPit@beehaw.org ) English2•9 months ago
I’ve hear a lot of people talk about it, but usually in “best 3ds games” articles. Maybe it’s a bit of a hidden gem, since it wasn’t a big franchise?
That’s oki
Hmm
I should get into kid Icarus lol
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English2•9 months ago
As a hardcore player of Metroid Prime Hunters (online) in the Nintendo DS I always was confused about what the issue with the controllers for Kid Icarus, or other shooter like games was lol.

I bought a Japanese “new 3ds” system about 2 years ago off of eBay and I’ve been using it a lot! I’ve been loving the Ace Attorney Trilogy lately, but I also played
- SM64 via a homebrew 3ds port
- NSMB2
- SM 3D Land
- Shantae 1 & 2 (gbc and dsiware, but I wanna play the 3rd, which is a native 3ds game)
- Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (dsiware, originally gba)
- Pilotwings Resort
- CTGP-7 (great mk7 modpack)
- So, so much Picross
My favorite 3ds game is Pushmo! I played it when I was younger, but it’s still fantastic.
I also loved the 3ds ecosystem outside of strictly games. Mii maker, Streetpass and Nintendo Video were all really fun extras.
Also the VB emulator Red Viper just recently released, so if there’s ever a time to try virtual boy games, it’s now! 3D baybeeee!!
- blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) 2•9 months ago
Nice. Wario Land for the Virtual Boy was a fantastic game. It’s a shame so few people have played it.
I have a new 3ds too, pokemon sun was good. To be fair I don’t remember any bad games on the system
- MisshapenDeviate ( @MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 8•9 months ago
Unless you consider Ace Combat an FPS, the 3DS doesn’t really have any of them that I know of. You’d be better off playing the old DS ones. If you count Homebrew, your options expand a lot. Doom and Quake play wonderfully on the New3DS with the C nub.
As far as my favorite games on it: wow, there are so many. Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse), Fire Emblem Birthright, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon, Monster Hunter 4U. The list goes on.
- SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 6•9 months ago
Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Moon.
Dementium: The Ward.
Potentially Battlefield 3, though I was finding a lot of conflicting posts/articles. So like 3 FPS games, maybe 4, but again, couldn’t find a CIA/ROM and only saw loads of conflicting info about BF3 on 3ds.- MisshapenDeviate ( @MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•9 months ago
Nice. I forgot about Federation Force (mostly I just remember the controversy with it not being what fans expected or something), but I have never heard of either of the others. I will have to look into them.
The 3DS has such a wide range of genres (although it is heavily biased toward RPGs and Platformers) that I’m not surprised there are more than one FPS for it. Wasn’t there one called Ironfall? Or was that one was 3rd person?
- SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 4•9 months ago
Metroid:FF is the only one with a rating over 3.4, so don’t get your hopes up…
I mentioned fps cosni remember this fps demo on the e shop
It had like a heart rate mechanic
- MisshapenDeviate ( @MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•9 months ago
Looking at some screenshots, that may have been Dementium Remastered as mentioned above by SturgiesYrFase. I’m not sure if it got a demo, and I hadn’t heard of it until about an hour ago, but it’s a guess.
Actually it might have been a third person shooter. I’ll look into that game tho.
Mainly looking for shooters
- FIash Mob #5678 ( @FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org ) 6•9 months ago
Oh yes. I have the gold Zelda limited edition 3DS XL in my collection.
My favorite games for the 3DS were Resident Evil Mercenaries, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Ultimate NES Remix.

Fond memories of the Street Pass games and RPG maker FES.
Street pass was nice
- TimTheEnchanter ( @TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org ) 2•9 months ago
I kind of miss Street Pass. I always loved it for when I was going through airports- you could get Street Passes from lots of different places!
I only ever got about 100 passes basically all while on holiday.
- smeg ( @smeg@feddit.uk ) English2•9 months ago
I only ever got them off friends or when traveling into London. Then one day I discovered that you could set up a Streetpass ‘relay’ just by setting your home WiFi’s SSID to some secret string and then you’d be able to meet other people using the same SSID wherever they were in the world. It stopped working eventually, but me and about 6 other people somewhere in the world made good use of it!
- macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.de ) 5•9 months ago
My most favourite game is Pilotwings Resort :)
- SmoochyPit ( @SmoochyPit@beehaw.org ) English1•9 months ago
I hadn’t played it until pretty recently, but I didn’t realize part of it is just the Wii Sports Resort free fly mode! I loved that!!
- macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.de ) 1•9 months ago
Yeah I simply love Wuhu Island and would love to make a vacation there… Pilotwings Resort is the next best thing then :)
- kessleragain ( @kessleragain@beehaw.org ) 4•9 months ago
Loved my 3ds. It helped me get back into gaming regularly. I had weird guilt when I tried to sit down at a console or pc to play, thinking I should use my time more wisely, but was able to spend hours on Animal Crossing and then other games.
I got introduced to the Fire Emblem series through it and loved them. Although I never finished Shadows of Valencia. One day, I’ll get back to it.
I also learned that Resident Evil, while awesome, is not for me to play lol.
- luciole (he/him) ( @luciole@beehaw.org ) 4•9 months ago
I have a 3DS but it’s broken in various ways. Besides I always found the 3DS too top heavy. On the other hand my trusty 2DS is still fine. Nevertheless I’m getting old and my eyes aren’t what they used to be. These screens are so tiny… What are these, TVs for ants?!
- Riley ( @koncertejo@lemmy.ml ) 3•9 months ago
I acquired my 3DS before the first price drop and unfortunately I never really appreciated it while I had it. It was the first place I played Ocarina of Time, which was a really fantastic experience that I was probably too young to really appreciate at the time. I never got around to playing A Link Between Worlds unfortunately. Beyond that my other favourite was Mario Kart 7. There are a lot of games that I now wish I had picked up but didn’t get a chance to.
The 3DS is also really interesting as it’s currently the last Nintendo handheld that can fit in a pocket. That era of portable consoles has largely passed out of favour (this is why I’ve started collecting PSP Go consoles). A lot of the best 3DS games have been somewhat overshadowed by the Switch now. I feel like its game library may be remembered similarly to the Game Boy Advance, more iterating on older franchises rather than having its own hugely impressive identity.
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English2•9 months ago
I think it is a pretty great handheld, but I am more of a DS guy, I keep playing several of its games thanks to Wimmfi, even when the 3DS has retro compatibility I think using a proper DS is way better.
With that said, the 3DS has its own fair share of good games, and it is your console if you like RPGs, I just would want it to have more visual novels.
- Rinn ( @Rinn@literature.cafe ) 1•9 months ago
I had a N3DS, it was my first handheld and it was great! Really good selection of games. My most played were Monster Hunter Generations (which was my introduction to the series) and Fantasy Life - one of my absolute faves, a charming and colorful fantasy adventure with life sim elements. The story is a bit meh but the gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying and there’s nothing else quite like it. I’ve been replaying it on an emulator (rip Yuzu/Citra devs) recently and it’s still a blast.
- win95 ( @win95@lemmy.zip ) English1•9 months ago
I have the old3DS and I have so many games I like but the ergonomics are horrible for me. Those grips only seem to exist for the XL. Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t play for more than 5 minutes on it.
- Caliper ( @Caliper@beehaw.org ) 1•9 months ago
Bought a New 2DS XL for my oldest son when he turned 9. Bought a second one for myself not long after. They were cheap secondhand, so it was a quick decision. I love the games and I used to play on my commute. Now it is mostly played on by my youngest. We’ve got a shit load of games, most also bought secondhand. And they still play on them anytime we go for a long drive! It is definitely the best system I’ve owned. Massive bang for buck.
Yea, the ds family is good
Apparently they also hackable :3
- CapitanStrider ( @CapitanStrider@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•9 months ago
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Animal Crossing New Leaf were my go-to games on the console. Super fun and still play from time to time.
